Happy Birthday Holly
Happy Birthday Holly!
We love your warm, caring, sweet spirit.
Thank you for allowing God to work in your life making you into a sensitive, loving and caring person.
Many are blessed by your spirit.
We love you much!
On Wednesday I made a trip to Pa. with Carmen P. and Connie B. to take in a sewing class up at Shady Maple. We were so impressed with some of the machine work done on these quilts.
Stunning.
One day this week we enjoyed a supper that Queena made. She made mapo tofu and stir-fry. Chop sticks were set at each place. Mark and I just couldn't make them work right.
Queena and Ethan mastered them beautifully. Dorie even gave it a try with her pudding.
She needs a little more work on mastering this art. More pudding on her cheek then in her mouth.

Shad's 6th deer
A picture is worth a thousand words!
My grandson Shadrick's 6th bowkill this year.
All that target practice is paying off I'd say.

MCC Sewing Day
Queena and Ethan went camping for a couple days so I get to take care of this little "Punkin"!
Dorie put herself in this cage.
Each year I look forward to our sewing circle ladies making the trip up to Ephrata, PA for a work day at MCC.
Our group this year numbered 14. Here are the ones that worked in the quilt room.
While we were quilting we got a call over the loud speaker for everyone to join the staff out on the loading dock.
They explained that before each shipment is sent to it's destination they say a special prayer for the container shipped and for the people who will be receiving it.
This shipping container was filled with MCC canned meat and dried vegetables and some comforters. It's destination is North Korea.
The container being pulled away from the dock.
Back around the quilt frame we enjoy much laughter.
Here I'm joined by Marg. S. and Carmen P.
Irene K. and Darlene C.
On around the next corner is
Lois S. Connie B. and Mabel S.
I always enjoy seeing other quilts that are on display around the building.
Notice the postage stamp quilt on the wall. You really can't see how small the squares are until you get a little closer.
I think they were about a half inch in size.
Connie showing us a scrappy quilt she has pieced.
This one hung in the lunch room.

Malissa's Bridal Shower
This week I had a pre Halloween scare!
I was calmly sewing along enjoying the hum of my machine and putting the border on my latest quilt when Boo this spider jumped right down to where my fingers were. It came from behind the needle shaft of the machine. Scared the living daylights out of me.
peaceinyourheart wrote me a very fitting poem:
Little Miss Polly, waiting for Holly, while stitching her quilt away
Along came a BIG spider
On material beside her
And gave Polly her fright for the day!
Today I helped Holly set a tea party table.
She along with a couple of girls gave Malissa K. a bridal shower.
Malissa has been a friend of Holly's since they were little girls.
It was fun getting out all the tea cups and making little dainty foods.
I even got Dorie to wear a hat long enough to snap this picture.
